In response to the allegations made by a former federal judge about the Justice Department’s dropping of his case, former National Michael Flynn went on an indignant tear against the decision to appoint the former judge to oppose the dismissal.


He said that the arguments made by retired U.S. District Judge John Gleeson were “an affront to the Rule of Law and a raging insult to the citizens of this country who see the abject corruption in this assassination by political prosecution of General Flynn.”

As for U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, the judge presiding over Flynn’s case, Flynn said Sullivan had “exuviated any appearance of neutrality” by appointing Gleeson to make “these scurrilous arguments.”

Flynn argued that Sullivan had no choice but to immediately dismiss Flynn’s case. He said that delaying the dismissal so that Gleeson could argue against it was a “clear impermissible violation of the separation of powers,” while describing Sullivan’s choice of Gleeson in particular as “appalling.”
